JGC wins contract for proposed ethylene export terminal

The JGC Group has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, JGC America Inc., has been awarded a basic engineering services contract by Odfjell Terminals for the possible development of an ethylene export terminal at its facility in Seabrook, Texas, US.

Under the contract, JGC will provide front-end engineering and design (FEED) services for Odfjell Terminals project.

We look forward to supporting Odfjell Terminals achieve its growth strategy through its Texas-based facility.”
